I just bought a 77 3/4 ton parts truck for my 67 3/4 ton (axle swap, and power steering swap) does anybody sell new leaf spring perches for the rear axle, and new shock mounts also, or do I reuse the existing ones. Thanks

I used the Mopar perches too. The center bolt hole was too big. I had to make a bushing.
